Not Just a Job—A Skill-Based Role That Matters

If you've got experience with cold forming or multi-hit machines, this is your chance to step into a role where your expertise actually keeps production moving.

We're looking for someone who can set up, troubleshoot, and run machines with confidence—not just push buttons. If you take pride in precision and solving problems on the fly, you'll fit right in.

What You'll Do

• Set up and troubleshoot cold forming (multi-hit / multi-slide) machines
• Work with inertia and hydraulic vertical presses
• Read blueprints and turn specs into high-quality finished parts
• Perform tooling changes, adjustments, and machine calibrations
• Monitor production to ensure quality and efficiency
• Inspect parts using precision tools (calipers, micrometers, etc.)
• Quickly identify and fix mechanical or production issues
• Collaborate with your team to improve performance and output
• Perform routine maintenance and keep machines running safely
• Maintain a clean, organized work environment

Requirements

What You Bring

• Experience setting up cold forming or multi-hit machines (Waterbury experience = big plus)
• Strong mechanical skills—you can troubleshoot, not just operate
• Blueprint reading + precision measuring experience
• Knowledge of tooling, dies, and machine adjustments
• Self-motivated with the ability to work independently or on a team
• High attention to detail and commitment to quality
• High school diploma or equivalent (technical training is a bonus)
• Preventative maintenance experience preferred

Why This Role Stands Out

• Competitive pay based on your experience
• Overtime opportunities
• Stable, full-time work
• Opportunity to grow your skillset and advance
• A team that values what you bring to the floor

Let's Be Honest

Skilled setup technicians are in demand—and we know it. If you're tired of being underutilized or just "running parts," this is your chance to step into a role where your knowledge actually makes an impact. Apply today and bring your skills somewhere they're valued.
